Polymer Coating Reduces Bacterial Biofilm on Neonatal Enteral Feeding Tubes after Infant Formula-Conditioning

Abstract We report a flexible polymer coating, poly(cyclododecyl methacrylate-co-di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) [p(CyDMA-co-DEGMA)], that significantly reduces bacterial biofilm formation on polyurethane neonatal feeding tubes, including on milk-conditioned surfac...
